I dont get it. NOT at all. Not of the death of this poor innocent child, but at why this is even a news story. We live in a christian nation, right? All these parents were doing was following Deuteronomy 21:18-21. To ALL the christians out there they believe in the words of the bible, there should be a unified support for these parents! Bill O'Reilly should take to the airwaves proclaiming what these parents did was scriptural and to even think they were wrong would be yet another attack during this war on xmas. Preachers this sunday should stand at the pulpit THIS sunday and use this as a shining example of Godly Parents following gods exact wishes as it was written!

Well, in all fairness, those verses aren't talking about children.

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son"
Uh, OK. SO since you have a new pair of God Goggles, please tell us that when our sons become sons and when our sons are not our sons...... I look foward to hearing Sarah Palin speak on this.

Unless you've got some insight into why the translation legitimately means adult offspring, then you're just spouting bullshit. The term "son" doesn't indicate of any particular age and would include this instance unless specifically noted otherwise by the original translation and context.

Word for child/children here. It literally means "children" or "child". It serves no reason that the author would say "son" and not "child" if he was talking about children. Also, keeping in the context, the verses call the son a glutton and a drunkard. This is obviously alluding to an older man.
